Attachment 3. Liquor Primary and Liquor Primary Club Structural Change Application
Official application forms submitted to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch for changes to the casino's license.
LIQUOR PRIMARY AND LIQUOR PRIMARY CLUB STRUCTURAL CHANGE APPLICATION
What is a Structural Change?
It is defined as a change to the existing approved service area(s), including but not limited to:
- a change in the position of a wall or partial height divider (pony wall) or fixed planters used as separation between/within a service area
- new construction
- the removal or addition of permanent display cabinets, stages or dance floors
- a change to the food and liquor service bar location or size
- in the position of access and exit points leading to or from a licensed service area
- the removal of a service area from the liquor licence
- addition of a new outdoor patio or the removal or expansion of an existing patio
- change to capacity (occupant load) of a licensed establishment with or without changes to the licensed service area(s)
- such other construction or changes the general manager considers may affect patron routing, capacity, or the line of sight between a staff control point and the service area of the establishment.
If you are making changes to the current approved floor plan, other than cosmetic changes, a structural change application is required. If your liquor primary licence overlaps a food primary licence (aka dual licence), a structural change application is also required for the food primary. Note: This does not include cosmetic changes such as changes to existing flooring, wallpaper, reconfiguring tables and chairs, countertops, painting, or changing the type of material used in the perimeter bounding of an outdoor patio.
